XRP6670
3A 300kHz-2.5MHz Synchronous Step Down Regulator
June 2013
Rev. 1.0.1
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XRP6670 is a synchronous current mode
PWM step-down (buck) regulator capable of
delivering up to 3 Amps. A 2.6V to 5.5V input
voltage range allows for single supply
operation from industry standard 3.3V and 5V
power rails.
Based on a current mode PWM control
scheme, the XRP6670 operating frequency is
programmable between 300kHz and 2.5MHz
via an external resistor. This flexibility allows
the XRP6670 to optimize component selection
and reduce component count and solution
footprint. It provides a low output voltage
ripple, excellent line and load regulation and
has a 100% duty cycle LDO mode. Output
voltage is adjustable to as low as 0.8V with a
better than 2% accuracy while a low quiescent
current supports the most stringent battery
operating conditions.
Built-in over-temperature, overcurrent, short
circuit and under-voltage lock-out protections
insure safe operations under abnormal
operating conditions.
The XRP6670 is offered in a RoHS compliant,
“green”/halogen free 3mmx3mm 10-pin DFN
package.

Description
Shutdown and Oscillator resistor input.
Connect a resistor to GND from this pin to set the switching frequency. Forcing this pin
to VDD shuts down the device.
Signal ground.
All small-signal ground, such as the compensation components and exposed pad should
be connected to this, which in turn connects to PGND at one point.
Power switch output pin.
This pin is connected to the inductor.
Power Ground Signal.
Connect this signal as close as possible to the input and output capacitors C
IN
and C
OUT
.
Power Input Supply Pin.
Decouple this pin to PGND (pin 5) with a capacitor.
Signal Input Supply Pin.
Decouple this pin to GND (pin 2) with a capacitor. Typically, VDD and PVDD are
connected together.
Power Good Flag.
This is an open drain output and is pulled to ground if the output voltage is out of
regulation.
Feedback pin.
An external resistor divider connected to FB programs the output voltage.
Compensation pin.
This is the output of transconductance error amplifier and the input to the current
comparator. It is used to compensate the control loop. Connect an RC network form this
pin to GND.
Connect to GND signal (pin 2).
